Embodiment Construction

[0005] The following animal experiment is a further detailed description of the present invention, but does not imply any limitation to the present invention.

[0006] 1. The effect of hopelessness on behavior

[0007] The experimental animals are male Kunming mice, free to eat and drink, with a body weight of 20-24 grams.

[0008] Smilagenin was suspended in 0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and administered by intragastric administration for 14 days, once a day.

[0009] The animals were divided into random groups, 12 in each group. One hour after the last administration, the animals were put into a glass jar (25 cm high, 10 cm in diameter) with a water depth of 10 cm, and the water temperature was 24°C. Observe for 6 minutes, and record and compare the immobility time within 4 minutes after each group.

[0010] The test results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation, and statistically processed by t test. The mouse forced swimming test is a classic model of behav...
